At the end of March, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The peach blossoms and willows are green in the Cining Garden, and a vibrant scene. The warm spring breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers blows on my face, which is particularly comfortable and pleasant. At this moment, Empress Dowager Jiang was surrounded by a group of palace maids, wandering around in the Cining Garden. The two princesses Yongfu and Yongchun, as well as the first and second concubines of Jiajing, were accompanied by each other. Everyone was talking and laughing, but the atmosphere was very harmonious, at least on the surface.

Since the "Tao Temple" of practice has not been transformed yet, Princess Yongfu still lives in the Cining Palace. At this time, she is wearing a plain spring shirt. Because of her long-term yoga posture, she looks particularly charming and slim, which is pleasing to the eye. The palace maids couldn't help but secretly envious. Princess Yongfu is a top beauty. She shaved her head in August last year and found that it has grown back. She has black short hair with ears, bright eyes, beautiful eyebrows like drawings, and a small mouth with a unique beauty. It is precisely: if you want to compare West Lake with Xizi, it is always suitable to apply light makeup and heavy makeup.

Empress Dowager Jiang was in a very good mood, with a constant smile on her face, and she looked energetic. Good news in the north frequently spread, and Concubine De was pregnant again and safely spent the first three months. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to hold her grandson in October of the golden autumn. No wonder Empress Dowager Jiang was so happy.

At this time, everyone walked to a pavilion, and Empress Dowager Jiang said, "Let's sit and rest in the pavilion."

Princess Yongchun You Xing was in full swing and said quickly: "My mother, we have only been shopping for half an incense stick, so we are tired. Let's walk for a while. It's not too late to rest when we arrive at Huxin Pavilion!"

Empress Dowager Jiang gave Yongchun a blank look and said, "You are not tired, but what should you do if you are tired of your sister-in-law?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Concubine De. The latter was only three months pregnant and had not yet shown her belly. However, she was supported by two palace maids and walked carefully, with one hand protecting her abdomen, giving people the feeling that she was about to give birth.

"Empress Dowager, my son is not tired yet!" Concubine De smiled slightly under the attention of everyone, and she was very helpful. Since she became pregnant with the dragon seed, her treatment has increased sharply. Everyone cared for her like a treasure. This feeling made her very proud.

Empress Dowager Jiang said, "You have to take a break if you are not tired. Although it has been three months, you cannot take it lightly. It would be awesome if you sweat and feel the wind and cold."

"What the Empress Dowager said is, then everyone should take a break!" Concubine De nodded, and then led the way into the pavilion with the help of the palace maids.

A trace of invisible jealousy and anger flashed in Queen Wu's eyes. In terms of status and status, she should have taken the lead, but even the queen mother gave in to Concubine De, so she, the queen, had to stand behind her. No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, she had to hold back. Who made her stomach unscrupulous?

A trace of sadness flashed in Shufei's eyes. She had been pregnant before, but later she had miscarriage. She had never been pregnant since then. It was probably because of a miscarriage. It would be difficult for her to get pregnant again in this life. At this time, she couldn't help but feel in love with the scene. Princess Yongfu next to her reached out and held Shufei's hand Wan, and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the pavilion too!"

Concubine Shu felt warm in her heart, smiled and nodded, and sat down with Princess Yongfu in her hand. However, she sighed secretly that Princess Yongfu is beautiful and understanding. Such a beautiful and wise woman is a bit born but has a bad life. She hopes that the three widows can only become monks and practice in the end, and will accompany the ancient Buddha of Qinglan forever. In comparison, she is actually much happier than her. At least the emperor favors her, but Princess Yongfu is destined to live alone.

Everyone was sitting in the pavilion, and there were palace maids and eunuchs on the table for everyone to eat. Concubine De likes to eat melon seeds, so she grabbed a handful and then started to snatch it up, looking happy and contented. Queen Wu was even more unhappy when she saw this. However, the yellow-haired girl from that time is much more mature and her scheming is getting deeper and deeper. Although she is unhappy, she is silent on the surface. She also took the initiative to peel an orange for Concubine De and said with a smile: "Sister, don't just eat melon seeds. Eating more fruits is good for the fetus."

"Thank you, Queen!" Concubine De took the Orange in fear and fear, but she felt secretly proud. Suddenly, her hand slid, and the Orange fell to the ground. She quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, my sister didn't take it firmly for the time being."

Queen Wu's expression changed, but she instantly returned to normal. She smiled and said, "It's okay!" After that, she peeled an orange and handed it to Concubine De.

Concubine De thanked and took it, but this time she took it firmly. She broke a piece and put it in her mouth and ate it happily. She felt very happy. She thought that I was so angry with Empress Wu at the beginning. Now Empress Wu wants to flatter me. Hey, it turns out that the mother is noble by her son. The ancients really did not deceive me. This concubine must have a son this time!

"What kind of fragrant powder does Sister Queen use? It smells so good!" Concubine De sniffed while sniffing.

Queen Wu finally established the image of a virtuous daughter-in-law in front of the Empress Dowager, and could only hold back the unhappiness and smile: "It was brought back by my brother from Suzhou. If my sister likes it, I will give you a set."

"Hey, it turned out that it was given to the queen by the uncle. Why did my sister be very embarrassed to ask for it!"

"It's okay. My brother brought a lot of them back from Suzhou this time. I'll ask him to send a few more sets in afterwards."

"Haha, I'll thank the Queen!"

Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't help but show a look of praise when she heard this. The queen she chose for the emperor was really good. She was well-educated, gentle, respectful, and humble. What's even more rare is that she has a broad mind and a mother-like demeanor in the world. Unfortunately... she was not very capable. Princess Yongfu glanced at Queen Wu thoughtfully. According to her understanding, Queen Wu was not a generous person, but people would change. The queen has changed a lot in the past two years, and maybe she has really made progress.

At this time, Concubine De, who had finished "greetings" with Queen Wu, suddenly said: "At this moment, the emperor should have been in court for a long time."

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at the height of the sun and nodded, "It's time for the emperor to go to the court. Come and ask in front. If the emperor goes to the court, let him go to Cining Palace to have lunch together."

Concubine De was happy when she heard this. Since she became pregnant, the emperor would come to Xu Han to ask about his well-being almost every day when he went to court. However, the emperor has not appeared in the past three days recently, so she deliberately asked for it in front of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager really agreed with all requests.

About half an hour later, the eunuch sent by Empress Dowager Jiang to inquire about the news came back to report: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the morning court ended one hour ago. It is said that the emperor went out of the city and went west of the capital after the court."

Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't help but frown and said, "Have you gone to play Climb again?"

A trace of jealousy flashed in Queen Wu's eyes and said, "I guess I went to Shenji Camp. It is reported that the emperor has gone to Shenji Camp for the past two days!"

"Didn't Shenji Camp follow Xu Jin's northern expedition? What should the emperor go to Shenji Camp to do?" Empress Dowager Jiang said strangely.

Concubine De curled her lips and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know anything. Duke Jingguo's sister He Zhier is making trouble in the weapons field of Shenji Camp. The emperor must have been involved!"

Empress Dowager Jiang's expression suddenly became dark.

Seeing this, Concubine De continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "Duke Jingguo is too indulging his pampered sister. He used to test the mine in Taiye Pool to cause the emperor to fall into the water. Fortunately, the emperor is fine. This time, he doesn't know what he has to do in the weapons field of the Shenji Camp. It would be amazing if he hurts the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Jiang's expression became even more ugly when she heard this. She had already scolded the emperor and Xu Jin in person and forbidden He Zhier from doing things in the military battle. Unexpectedly, this woman actually went to Shenji Camp to make trouble again. This was outrageous. If the emperor was implicated again, it would be great!

Seeing this, Princess Yongfu hurriedly said, "Mother, as far as her daughter knows, He Zhier is not a fool. Her attainment in manufacturing weapons is of great craftsmanship. Even the heads of the Military Weapon Bureau and the Military War Bureau are ashamed of themselves!"

Empress Dowager Jiang was slightly surprised and said skeptical: "Take this true? It's just a teenage daughter's family, but the Ai family doesn't believe it!"

Princess Yongchun said unconvincedly: "Mother, what's wrong with my daughter's family? There are also people who are not inferior to men in their daughter's family. Wu Meiniang has also been the emperor."

Princess Yongfu quickly pinched Yongchun and said angrily: "Yongchun, don't talk nonsense. Mother, Zhier was injured in the head and lost some memory. She was as simple as a ten-year-old girl. However, she has an unparalleled talent in military industry. The Folang machine cannon was transformed by her, and the mines and grenades were also made by her, and both played a great role. Even the great victory that Duke Yasukuni won in the Tatar Khan Court not long ago was attributed to the tripping horse studs developed by Zhier."

Empress Dowager Jiang was moved when she heard this and blurted out: "Is that true?"

Princess Yongchun said with honor: "Xu Jin wrote clearly on the victory newspaper, there will be fakes there, and Wu Wending, the Minister of War, also commented that He Zhier could reach a 100,000 army alone, and his mother dared to look down on her daughter's family!"

Empress Dowager Jiang finally believed it. Wu Wending was honest and dared to speak out. Since he said this, it seems that He Zhier is indeed amazing.

Concubine De curled her lips and said, "Maybe He Zhier is indeed very capable in making weapons, but craftsmanship is a cheap career. She is the charity of Duke Jingguo. It is indecent to be fucked by this cheap career. What's more, the daughter's family should have the same appearance as her daughter's family. Taking care of her husband and children and having children is the right way."

Empress Dowager Jiang nodded and her expression darkened again.

Seeing this, Concubine De smugly knocked a melon seed, and suddenly her face turned pale. She covered her stomach and screamed: "Ah... it hurts so much!"

Everyone was shocked, and Empress Dowager Jiang hurriedly shouted: "Transfer to the Imperial Doctor, the Imperial Doctor!"
